Visual inspection of stormwater facilities that catches sediment buildup, erosion, blockages, overgrowth and structural damage before they become problems.
Rough Hollow and The Hills were built in phases over the ridgelines above Lake Travis, and the stormwater ponds that came with each phase are now old enough to show it. A stormwater system inspection in Lakeway means walking those basins to see how limestone grading, golf course irrigation runoff and two decades of lake-area weather have actually treated the structure, not how the as-built plan said it would perform.
The limestone benches around Flintrock and the lake shed water fast and unevenly, so a basin that looked fine on the last walk-through can silt in at the forebay within a season or two of heavy rain. We find slow drawdown where an outlet has partially choked, bare caliche slopes that never held grass cover, cedar and hackberry saplings rooted into an embankment, and inlet grates packed with decomposed granite washed off a cart path or parking lot. None of it is dramatic until a storm hits and the pond cannot do its job.
For the property manager or board handling a Lakeway site, this starts with a full walk of the facility and ends with written findings you can act on or hand to the association's engineer. We check sediment and blockages, assess slopes for erosion, and review the structure and outfall so you know what is routine upkeep and what needs a bigger fix before it shows up as standing water or a washed-out bank.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lakeway property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and stormwater system inspection that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We schedule a free, no-obligation site visit, usually within 48 hours of your call, and walk the pond or basin with you or your maintenance contact. We look at the inlet, forebay, slopes, outlet structure and outfall, then put together a straightforward estimate based on what the facility actually needs, not a flat rate.
Most HOA and commercial basins in Lakeway hold up fine with an inspection once or twice a year, timed around the spring and fall rain patterns. A heavy storm season, a new phase of construction upslope, or a visible change like standing water or a slumping bank is a reason to call sooner than your regular schedule.
Yes. We coordinate timing with the association or property manager so the walk does not interfere with golf cart traffic, resident parking or clubhouse events. Most inspections are done on foot with hand tools, so there is no heavy equipment blocking roads or common areas.
The limestone hillsides here shed rain fast and carry decomposed granite and caliche sediment straight into forebays and inlet grates. That means we pay particular attention to slope cover and outlet blockage in Lakeway basins, since bare caliche slopes and clogged outfalls show up more here than in flatter, soil-heavy sites.
Size and number of basins on the property matter most, along with how much sediment or vegetation has built up since the last inspection. Difficult access, like a pond set below a golf fairway or behind a gated section of Rough Hollow, can also add time to the walk and change the estimate.
